David and Victoria Beckham have long been established as powerhouses in sport and fashion, but their eye for a stunning aesthetic clearly extends to the home.

Snapshots shared on Victoria's social media offer a rare glimpse into the couple's London kitchen, anchored by towering vertical cabinetry from the luxury Italian manufacturer Officine Gullo.

The most striking element is the use of verticality; with ceilings in the Holland Park house reaching an estimated 15ft, the kitchen cabinets climb almost to the top. To reach those high-up holiday serving platters, the diminutive designer uses a sleek metal ladder that matches the hardware perfectly.

It feels a bit flighty to call anything here a 'trend' – these are pieces built to last lifetimes – but we couldn't help but notice the brass pans (like these from Wayfair) hanging ornamentally above the island. It’s a classic look that adds a bit of professional warmth to the space.

The dark, atmospheric tones of the metal and wood offer a chic contrast to the more pared-back kitchen color ideas elsewhere, like the cream-painted walls and a black-and-white hexagonal breakfast table tucked by the window.

Based in Florence, Officine Gullo is the result of founder Carmelo Gullo's specific vision for professional-grade domestic kitchens. With showrooms in design hubs like New York, Los Angeles, and Milan, the brand has become a global benchmark for quality.

Our Content Director, Lucy Searle, previously visited their Milan space and was immediately sold. 'I can attest that the quality of these kitchens is second-to-none,' Lucy says. 'Officine Gullo is always a star of the Milan design shows.'

By hand-shaping raw materials in their Italian workshops, the brand creates pieces that are as much 'oeuvres' as they are appliances. The result for the Beckhams is a space that feels both incredibly grand and perfectly lived-in – the ultimate goal for any high-end kitchen.
